Nachos Style Smashed Potatoes

Oh who doesn’t like a crispy smashed potato?? I know its a great hit my family.

This is essentially smashed open cooked potatoes and then roasted to give it a crispy textured bite.

I decided to give it somewhat of a Mexican makeover, borrowing flavour layers of a Pica de Gallo and Guacamole.

It just so happens to be gluten free and ekadashi friendly, so make sure you give this a go the next time you’re fasting.
